(filed July 8, 2004, Alameda County Superior Court)
Eight separate plaintiffs filed purported class action cases in various California courts alleging misrepresentations by the Company relative to iPod battery life. The complaints include causes of action for violation of California Business and Professions Code Section 17200 (unfair competition), the Consumer Legal Remedies Action (“CLRA”) and claims for false advertising, fraudulent concealment and breach of warranty. The complaints seek unspecified damages and other relief. The cases were consolidated in San Mateo County and Plaintiffs thereafter filed a consolidated complaint. On August 25, 2004, the Company filed an answer denying all allegations and asserting numerous affirmative defenses. The parties have reached a tentative settlement and the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on May 20, 2005. The final approval hearing is set for August 25, 2005. Settlement of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
